The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system, are the products of daily
renewed mental exhaustion. Business
avocations often involve an amount of
mental wear and tear very prejudicial to
physical health, and the professions, if
arduously pursued, are no less destruc-
tive to brain and nerve tissue. 1t is
one of the most important attributes of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, that it COM
pensates for this dndue loss oftissue, and
that it imparts new energy to the brain
and nerves. The rapidity with which it
renews weakened mental energy and
physical vitality is remarkable, and shows
that its invigorating properties are of the
highest order. Besides increasing vital
stamia, and counteracting the effects of
mental exhaustion this potential med
icine cures and prevents fever and ague,
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and CON
stipation, kidney and uterine weakness
and other complaints. Physicians also

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Persistence

tied stomachic. is the sole and agreeable
condition of the entire removal of the OBJ

ton with the use Of this specific, it is de-
sirable to avoid articles of food which in
dividual experience has shown TO be diff
cult of digestion, by the stomach sought
to be benefited. Each dyspeptic's past
observation of his digestive capacity
should enable him to be his own guide
and mentor in this particular, not trusting
to any set of dietetic rules too general to
be suited to particular cases. Billiousness

ssrrility and Arrogance.

The Anglomania is responsible for the
creation of a class of tradesmen in New
York unique and conspicuous. They are
essentially high priced and exclusive.
They have no time or civility to waste
upon practical economists, and questions
and demurs as to prices are met with cal
culated impertinence. They are almost al
ways English by birth, and have learned
their trades in London. They AVE all
the servility of all English tradesman COM
bined with the overswelling independ-
nee of the naturalized American citizen,
n it Is a combination which gives them
their peculiar and unparalleled character.
Anywhere else than in the set Of their
customers they regard themselves as
their customers equals and the superiors
of everybody. They are met at Long
Branch, Saratoga, Richfeld, and all the
minor watering places this summer but
never at Newport or Lenox, and have
the best places everywhere, and every
where throw about their money with
the air of dukes and the discretion of
drummers. Almost everybody takes
them at their own valuation, which is as
high as arrogance and a full purse can
force it. Only If they chance to meet
one of their customers do they show a
prompt change of front and become OBJ
sequious lackeys with tape measures.
This is a character impossible to the
American t~radesman, but it y when
well done.-New York Graphic.
